I think the JC coaches comments had their intended effect. LSU probably thought they could focus on other prospects and swoop in at the last minute if everything worked out on their end. When it became clear that Williams was going to be playing in the SEC, I knew the staff would have to offer. It's too big of a risk to allow a talent like that to go to a division rival.

Some comments from Dhaquille, (Was in the comments section of a 247 article, don't know the rules here)

"Absolutely, I’m done with all the recruiting stuff,” Williams said. “LSU is where I’ve always wanted to be, and now that I’m committed, there’s no reason to look at anything else. I just can’t wait to get to Baton Rouge and start working out with my team.”

Jennings has a better chance of becoming a Heisman candidate than red-shirting. Barring injury, he will get snaps as a true freshman.

That's why he needs snaps right now. The last thing we want is for Rivers to be the only returning QB with any game experience. It's going to be a battle between Jennings and Rivers in 2014. Rivers better step up his game.
